Names still sought for CSC license plate
Chadron State College has received a lot of interest in its project to create a branded Nebraska license plate, but still has a ways to go to reach the 500 names required by the state, according to one of the project’s organizers.
Karen Pope, CSC director of alumni, said about 150 people signed up after the college announced the project in April. Pope said interested vehicle owners may still contact her at 308-432-6357 or kpope@csc.edu.
As of now, Pope is collecting only names and contact information, not money. Those who state their interest are under no obligation to participate, but will be updated about the project’s progress and will be approached for the licensing fee when the list meets requirements. The fee of $70, which is separate from other licensing charges, will be applied to each vehicle an owner registers with the special plates. The statute requires that all 500 paid registrations be collected and submitted by CSC before the plates are printed.
If the project is successful, CSC supporters may purchase the plates for use on a wide variety of vehicles, including trucks and motorcycles.
The organizational license plate program became effective in January following legislation passed by the 2009 Nebraska Legislature. More information about the program may be found at the DMV’s Web site, www.dmv.ne.gov.
